1. Lost time Incident (LTI) – a lost time incident occurs when a person is injured in the execution of
his/her duties and as a result of this incident is unable to perform his/her regular duties for one full shift or more on the day following the day on which the injury was incurred, whether a scheduled day of work or not. In practice, it means that the injured person is on a medical sick leave as a result of the incident.
2. Restricted Work Case (RWC) – is a work related incident which results in the injured being able to return to work within one day of the person being injured but unable to conduct some or all of his/ her regular duties and/ or in line with his/ her profession and performs light, alternative work.
3. Medical Treatment Case (MTC) – is a work related injury which results in the injured receiving treatment from a medical professional. Treatment involves medicines usually obtainable only by prescription of a medical professional (e.g. antibiotic) , removal of a foreign body from the eye, application of stitches , etc. The injured will be able to resume his/ her regular duties on the day following that of the injury. It does not involve precautionary examinations of the employee.
4. First Aid Case (FAC) – is a minor work related injury which in normal circumstances can be treated by the injured himself/ herself. This usually includes application of non-prescription medicines e.g. antiseptic ointment and small wound dressings. If the treatment given by medical professional amounts only to that described in this definition
the case will remain an FAC. Precautionary examinations by a medical doctor, such as taking of X-rays, are considered FACs if no further therapy is necessary.
5. Close call/ near hit – a dangerous incident related to work performed that did not result in injury or health
deterioration, e.g. slip, fall, employee hits on the structure, employee being struck by a moving element, vehicles collision, dangerous driving, object falling from height, entering into the danger zone, etc. and situations (conditions) causing a injury threat , e.g. spillage of oil or other slippery substance on the walkway, opening in the floor that is not secured, incorrect or no railing with the platform , not wearing of personal protective equipment that impact safety, etc. Note. If a close call/ near hit may result in grave bodily injury, disability or death, it is classified as a significant (high potential) close call/ near hit.
